Portal is a new single player game from Valve, creators of Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has earned over 15 Game of the Year Awards and offers gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation.

Really? I'm the first one to write 'The cake is a lie!'? Well, it's a dirty job but...

Portal is a clever physics puzzle wrapped in sterile laboratory aesthetics that overstays its welcome after the first hour. 50/100 - half-baked potential.

I like this, theoretically, but motion sickness ruins it for me. Too many portals and I'm literally nauseous for the rest of the day. >_> The concept is excellent & it's clearly a well made game. Plus the soundtrack...!

Fun gameplay, but I feel the story / dialogue / humor is overhyped.

Love it. It takes an original puzzle concept and makes a great gameplay out of it.

Enjoyed the whole game, it is short and sweet and a concept unlike any other game I have played.

Portal is a game of decent and unique mechanics, maybe a little dry, but decent. What elevates it is the story, character, and unparalleled atmosphere. It might now be a horrible meme but the fact that the simple sentence: "the cake is a lie" can be mysterious, funny, and terrifying, all at the same time, is a testament to how well this game is put together.

The sadistic humor of the overseeing computer G.L.A.D.O.S. is really what makes the game, as challenging and innovative as the puzzles were. What you remember is G.L.A.D.O.S. This game has become so quotable. This was a triumph....

Portal is the perfect puzzle game for one single reason. It's actually challenging. Each level makes great use of the physics and mechanics built into the game.

The humor is a little too zany sometimes, but that's the worst thing I can say about this game.

If there is a downside, it's that this is a short game. But I'll take what I can get, because this is still perhaps my favorite computer game of all time.

Would be better if I could invert the x camera axis but since it's a puzzle game I'll forgive it.

Puzzle platforming at it's best. This is the type of game that makes me sad valve has devolved into 3 things: DOTA, CS:GO lootboxes, and running steam.

An absolute innovation upon release. Portal was originally only available as part of the Valve Orange Box compilation, which may have been because they didn't know how to market what was almost an extended tech demo. It's a first person physics based puzzle game with some levels lasting mere seconds. The game itself can be completed in minutes, but most will be challenged for a good few hours. A cult classic, Portal paved the way for a full blown sequel which surpassed all expectations.

I never finished this, it hurt my brain too much. I love the concept and the originality and dark humor, but yeah. Puzzles.

while not quite as interesting as some other puzzle games, its craft is near flawless.

Portal is nearly a perfect game,In it's concise 2-3 hour length, it features not just great brain-teasing gameplay, but also the most brilliant black humour of any video game, powered by a great voice-acting performance by Ellen McLain. If you havn't played it yet, you absolutely owe it yourself to do so.
